After all, right now, City Lord's Mansion and the other three great families had a similar relationship. Once the three great families made a move, it was equivalent to having a move on the interests of City Lord's Mansion.
"City Lord Murong, I'm afraid you don't know that the fact that Zhou Family and City Lord's Mansion have been ambushed in succession is related to the fact that there is a traitor within our three great families. Otherwise, why would the three great families be safe and sound when their City Lord's Mansion was under siege? " Looking at Murong Duoqian's frightened expression, Hu Cheng immediately sneered.
Hearing Hu Cheng's words, Murong Duoqian could understand his intentions. It seemed that Hu Cheng wanted to take revenge on the three great families, and his City Lord's Mansion was probably ranked behind the three great families, so he was the last one to be targeted.
"Mayor, what's going on?" Following the Chai Family's internal and external higher-ups being brought to the center of the Chai Family Palace, the largest plaza, many of the Chai Family's upper echelons shot gazes at Murong Duoqian for help.
Unfortunately, their gazes were simply unable to change their current situation. All they could do was to make them receive even more unfair treatment.
"Right now, our City Lord's Mansion is investigating the Evil God Religion rebellion. All of you must cooperate actively, or else, we will punish all according to the rebellion's orders." Hu Cheng unceasingly ordered groups of elite soldiers of the City Lord's Mansion to bring the higher ups of the Chai Family to the plaza.
In less than two hours, almost all of the Chai Family's upper echelons had been brought over. Besides this, everyone in the entire Chai Family family, from top to bottom, those with the slightest bit of authority, were all brought over to the plaza. Other than the servants of the Chai Family, there were also some other women who possessed authority.
Hu Cheng was not standing in the middle of the plaza, but was sitting on the roof and interrogating them.
There were thousands of them, and thousands of them. They aimed their arrows at the elders and young and old of the Chai Family, and if any one of them dared to make a ruckus, these archers would shoot him down.
"Who is the Patriarch of the Chai Family?" Hu Cheng looked at the people with Chai Family and asked with an ice-cold voice.
"Patriarch of the bedroom's Chai Family, what orders do you have for me?" Chai Lu quickly stood out from the crowd and said.
"Speak, why did your Chai Family collude with the Evil God Religion, and did the thing that betrayed it." Hu Cheng asked mercilessly with a cold voice.
"General, please make clear that our Chai Family is not related to our Evil God Religion in the slightest. If there is, please take out evidence." Chai Lu quickly knelt on the ground and said.
If it was a normal situation, how could the patriarch of a large clan kneel to an outsider? Even if the person was a Earth Grade Beast-controlling Master, it was impossible. But the current situation was different. If he did not lower himself now, then what was waiting for his Chai Family would be a massacre, without leaving even a single dog or chicken.
"Father, this person obviously wants to target our Chai Family. There is no need for you to kneel to him, this is the shame of our Chai Family!" Seeing Chai Yi kneeling, suddenly, a young Chai Family disciple stood out from the crowd, pointing at Hu Cheng and laughing crazily.
Before the city guards entered the Level One Main City, there was no one who could shake their position in the Chai Family. Every single disciple of the Chai Family had a strong confidence in themselves, yet the patriarch of the Chai Family was actually kneeling to an outsider so easily.
However, seeing this situation, Chai Yi wanted to reprimand his son for his disobedience, but before he could even finish his sentence, he saw over a hundred arrows simultaneously shooting into the body of this Chai Family disciple, instantly turning this Chai Family disciple into a hornet's nest.
"Hmph, ignorant child, do I need you to teach me what I do?" Hu Cheng stared at the corpse of the Chai Family disciple and said without any emotion, "Alright, anyone who is unconvinced now, can all come out, if not, let the Patriarch continue to speak." Hu Cheng looked around, and it seemed that no one dared to go against him, and continued.
"Our Chai Family is right, I don't know what to say …" Chai Tu said helplessly.
"Chai Niu, are you really confused or are you just faking it? Do you want me to point out the mistakes you made?" Seeing Firewood's performance, Hu Cheng continued to explain.
"Indeed, I'm not sure." Chai Tu continued to kneel on the ground as he heard Hu Cheng's words.
"Well, I'll tell you now. A traitor appeared in your Chai Family, and this traitor is a remnant of your Evil God Religion. If I am not mistaken, these remnants of Evil God Religion all have some obvious marks on their bodies. Let me take a look at them now. " Hu Cheng looked at the management staff of Chai Family, suddenly he saw a Chai Family disciple, and pointed at him, "It's up to you, you can stand out now."
"General, I am not a remnant of Evil God Religion, I hope you can see it clearly," This Chai Family disciple was so frightened that his entire body started to tremble.
"You don't have to be so agitated. I know you aren't a remnant of Evil God Religion, but you have committed an unforgivable sin. Take off your clothes." Hu Cheng said expressionlessly as he looked at this Chai Family disciple.
"I …" This Chai Family disciple still wanted to resist, but in the end, he was grabbed by the arms of two soldiers and took off his clothes.
"How, how could it be like this?" Seeing that a large amount of Evil God Religion runes had actually appeared on the body of this Chai Family disciple, not to mention the Patriarch, even the people from the City Lord's Mansion were stunned. This was because they never expected that there would actually be such a tattoo on the body of the person from the Chai Family.
"Patriarch of the Chai Family, what else do you have to say for yourself?" Hu Cheng looked at Chai Yi and asked coldly.
"Reporting to General, this person is indeed a member of our Chai Family, but just because he's a Evil God Religion disciple, doesn't mean that our Chai Family is all there are!" Seeing his once trusted subordinate suddenly turn into a member of the Evil God Religion, Chai Yi also felt that it was extremely inconceivable, and even felt a sense of despair.
Because never in his dreams would he imagine that someone from the Evil God Religion would actually infiltrate right under his nose. He was truly very angry, and also very disappointed.
"Speak, in your Chai Family, who else is from there?" Hu Cheng looked at the Chai Family disciple and asked.
Hehe, I never thought that even though I hid my strength so deeply, you still noticed me. But you should just give up, even if you kill everyone from our Chai Family, I won't tell you! Seeing that his identity had been exposed, this Chai Family disciple immediately laughed wildly.
"Tell me, do we still have any remnants of our Chai Family? Quickly tell me!" Seeing this Chai Family disciple actually want to bury the entire Chai Family inside, Chai Niu felt dizzy and then, he kicked the Chai Family disciple's body and asked ruthlessly.
"Firewood, there's no need to be in such a hurry to silence me. It's useless!" Hu Cheng looked at Chai Zi, and said with a cold smile.
"General, our Chai Family was truly wronged, this lowly one does not know about these matters, and has never participated in any of them!" Although Chai Fu could feel that Hu Cheng had done this for revenge, for the grievances of the people who had abandoned their General Mansion in the hunt and left without permission, he could not find an excuse. In a moment of desperation, he could only try his best to interrogate this Chai Family disciple.
Unfortunately, Hu Cheng had already calculated him to the limit, to the point where he had no way of turning the situation around.
"Hahaha, you've never participated in it before. What a joke. You cannot be trusted with your words. Only if this Chai Family disciple says it, will I believe you! " Hu Cheng looked at the Chai Family disciple and asked with a smile.
Other than me, there are a few more disciples of the Evil God Religion. However, they would not reveal themselves so quickly, we would rather drag the people of the Chai Family and die with them, than to let you all capture the disciples of the Evil God Religion one by one. "
